Say Anything realease new album "Anarchy My Dear."

   Equal Vision Records is proud to release Say Anything's fourth studio album, Anarchy, My Dear, out today. The album, which was produced by Tim O'Heir (Superdrag, Sebadoh, Say Anything), is currently streaming in full via Billboard and Spinner. Anarchy, which can be purchased here, has been specially mastered for iTunes optimization. In conjunction with the release, IFC has premiered the video for lead single "Burn A Miracle," which was directed by filmmaker Rasa Acharya - watch it here. The official music video for second single, "Say Anything," was recently filmed and directed by Darren King from MUTEMATH, and will be released soon.

As a thank you to their dedicated fans, Say Anything played a surprise, intimate show at the Viper Room in Los Angeles yesterday, which was live streamed online with support from Red Bull. The performance can be seen here and will be available onDemand from March 13th to 19th. The band will celebrate release day with an in-store signing and meet & greet at Second Spin Records in Santa Monica at 6pm PST. The band will be in Austin this week for SXSW and will then hit the road for a 32-date North American tour (SXSW schedule and full list of tour dates are below).

Early response to Anarchy, My Dear has been fantastic, recognized by Billboard as "49 minutes of focused maturity, impressive instrumentation and barrelfuls of frontman Max Bemis's acerbic and eloquent lyricism. It's also probably the group's crowning achievement." Alternative Press deemed frontman Max Bemis "one of contemporary emo's most gifted, honest songwriters," while Entertainment Weekly enjoyed the album's "bursts of sonic endorphins," encouraging readers to "see the sublime 'Peace Out'". Third single "So Good," hailed Rolling Stone, is "an atypically romantic number...[that] showcases the tender side of songwriter Max Bemis" and SPIN praised "Burn A Miracle," calling it a "white-knuckled, sore-throated, open-hearted call to arms."

ROCKLAHOMA – Life, Liberty & The Pursuit Of Rock!

Go Radio kicks of "Lucky Street" tour this month.

   Tallahassee rock band GO RADIO are set to hit the road for a two month long U.S. headlining tour with This Providence in support of their debut album, Lucky Street.  The band will kick things off this week with three intimate performances at SXSW in Austin, TX.

Formed in 2007 by beloved vocalist/guitarist Jason Lancaster, GO RADIO, which also consists of Alex Reed (guitar), Matt “Burns” Poulos (bass) and Steven Kopacz (drums), has quickly become one of rock’s most promising bands with two EPs (2008’s Welcome to Life and 2010’s Do Overs and Second Chances) and their Fearless Records debut full-length album Lucky Street under their belts.

 GO RADIO’s mounting success can be attributed to the band’s incredible knack for crafting unflinchingly honest, breathtakingly beautiful music that boasts incredible raw vocal talent and unequivocal songwriting prowess as heard on tracks like “Any Other Heart,” and “Goodnight Moon.”

 Lucky Street was named “one of the best rock records of 2011” by Absolutepunk.net, and debuted on Billboard’s Top 200 as well as the Independent, Rock and Alternative charts.  With the incredible reaction to their debut, anticipation for their follow-up is at an all-time high.

 In early 2012, GO RADIO wrapped up recording in St. Cloud, FL with James Paul Wisner (Dashboard Confessional, Paramore, New Found Glory) for their new full-length album, which is due out later this year.

Alter Bridge to release highly anticipated second live CD/DVD.

   Fans of power rockers ALTER BRIDGE rushed to “beat the street” online this week and make LIVE AT WEMBLEY, the band’s second live CD/DVD – and the first live concert DVD from The Dude Films – hit #2 in the Top 100 on the Blu Ray Music Videos & Concerts chart at Amazon.com, just beneath Adele. For the seventh day in a row, LIVE AT WEMBLEY, with a street date of March 26, 2012, has been in the Top 10 of Amazon Bestsellers in the Blu Ray Music Videos & Concerts chart, ahead of video offerings from other music giants in the Top 10 such as Iron Maiden, Whitney Houston and Tony Bennett. The title has consistently picked up sales and momentum since it was initially posted on Amazon over a week ago, showing the incredibly true loyalty and love of Alter Bridge fans. 

The band’s previous live CD/DVD, LIVE FROM AMSTERDAM (2009), broke records at Amazon, rising 15,000 spots in one day to capture the #1 position. The package was very well received and garnered 4- and 5-star reviews across the board. 


LIVE AT WEMBLEY, distributed in North America through EMI Label Services, includes every key Alter Bridge track from their three studio albums, including “Isolation,” “Ghosts Of Days Gone By,” “Wonderful Life,” “Watch Over You,” “Broken Wings,” “Rise Today,” “Open Your Eyes” and many more, and was captured in late November during the Fall 2011 European tour at the historic Wembley Arena. 

“When the tour was booked, we saw that there were a few arenas, Wembley being one of them,” says lead guitar player Mark Tremonti. “We were excited and nervous, wondering if the tickets would sell. They did, and we were blown away. The first four or five songs of any set are usually pretty nerve-wracking. Those are the tunes where we're finding our footing and trying to get comfortable. But Wembley was different. Even with all of the cameras and the fact that we were filming and we couldn't make any mistakes, it was fun right from the start.” 

Directed by long time Alter Bridge Director Daniel E. Catullo III (Rush, Nickelback, Smashing Pumpkins, Godsmack) and produced by Catullo and Lionel Pasamonte, the 16-camera, state-of-the-art high definition shoot was filmed in front of a fanatical audience of over 10,000 English fans as the band gave the performance of a lifetime, captured in pristine audio visual perfection, in 5.1 DTS Surround Sound, at Wembley Arena in London. The Deluxe Edition of the DVD is set to include a second bonus disc of content shot specifically for this release, plus a 60-minute documentary called “The Road To Wembley” and photo gallery, and 16-page souvenir booklet. 

In addition to the main HD shoot, the show was shot in 3D using 3Ality Technica technology and cameras. The 3D version will be released in late 2012 as a separate 3D film/3D Blu Ray package by 3Dimensions, Inc. The 3D production was produced by Catullo and Pasamonte, along with Ted Kenney, Producer/ Director of such iconic 3D Concert Films as U23D, Kenney Chesney: Summer in 3D, Black Eyed Peas in 3D and Britney Spears in 3D. 

The DVD and Blu Ray includes the following songs: 

1. Slip To The Void 

2. Find The Real 

3. Ghosts Of Days Gone By 

4. Before Tomorrow Comes 

5. Come To Life 

6. All Hope Is Gone

Falling In Reverse release new video.

   Exhilarating front man Ronnie Radke and his blistering young rock n' roll band Falling In Reverse continue their meteoric rise with the release of their brand new video for the song “Raised By Wolves” from their smash debut album The Drug In Me Is You.

This clip shows the band in an electrifying live performance and offers a sweat drenched window into life on the road for the young band, which The Huffington Post called “this generations Mötley Crüe,” while Kerrang! Magazine called The Drug In Me Is You “one of the fiercest debuts of 2011."

To watch the new Falling In Reverse video for “Raised By Wolves,” just go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=un82tyFzG7I

The band has just finished a massively successful headline tour of the US, selling out venues across the country in support of The Drug In Me Is You. The group will soon be announcing special plans for the summer.
